Considerable attention has been paid to compressed
sensing (CS) in the MRI community recently. CS theory allows exact recovery of
a sparse signal from a highly incomplete set of samples in conventional sense,
and thus has the potential for significant reduction in MRI scan time. While
most existing work has focused on Fourier encoding, some has show promises in
non-Fourier encoding. In this abstract, we design a pulse sequence to implement
the Toeplitz random encoding method proposed earlier. The experiment results
show that Toeplitz random encoding can be realized in practice as an
alternative method for CS MRI.
